Javier De Lucia
Javier De Lucia is an old soul and a new author of contemporary literary fiction, weaving richly layered stories that combine dark, biting humor with profound explorations of the human experience. His debut novel, The Wake of Expectations, and its upcoming sequel, A Pleasant Fiction, blend personal introspection with universal truths to capture the bittersweet realities of love, loss, and the search for identity.
Having come of age in the 1990s, Javier’s work has a distinctive Gen X flavor. Yet, his stories deal with themes that are relevant to any generation: friendship, family, and the redemptive power of human connection, as well as existential questions about meaning and resilience. His characters are complex and authentic—flawed and profoundly human—inviting readers to find reflections of themselves in the narrative.
Javier’s work is not just an exploration of the past, but also a bridge to the present, offering readers a chance to reflect and critique; to discover and connect with the extraordinary within the ordinary.
The Wake of Expectations will be released on June 3, 2025
